Second Nine Weeks for Second Grade

Wow, I can’t believe the school year is half way completed. We are bringing our learning to a pause and sharing our projects with you online. The following second grade classes, Ms. Tuck, Mrs. Barrett and Mrs. Riley, have been learning about “Why dogs are considered people’s best friend.” They researched a chosen dog and learned about animal characteristics. They used the data to build a glyph, a pictograph about one breed of dogs. Below are the classes’ reflections of our learning.
